Lyrics:

You’re in a place you think you knowSurrounded but you feel aloneYou have a place to rest your head, but not a homeFeels like you lost yourself againSit in the silence of a friendWhen you are fully known and loved you have a home

The burden you chose to bareHiding yourself from those who careProblems and pride play hide and seek, you’re unawareThat all of the things you keep concealedOne day are bound to be revealedWe paint a picture of ourselves that isn’t real

Feels like you lost yourself againSit in the silence of a friendWhen you are fully known and loved you have a homeYou have a home

In time may you find peace of mind with me my friend

Feels like you lost yourself againSit in the silence of a friendWhen you are fully known and loved you have a homeYou have a home

Honorable Mention – “Believe” by Life Is Hard, Houston, TX

Lyrics:

Verse 1: If you stumble don’t open the door and let defeat walk inIf it rains don’t walk away and let the floods begin When you doubt let hope surround you, feel it’s warm embraceWhen your down just look around you and find a smiling face

Chorus:And Be-lieve your faith can move the mountainsBe-lieve no ocean is too deep Be-lieve his hand is on your shoulderYou’ll rise above if only you believe

Verse 2: Don’t hesitate to chase you dreams, fear is not your friendDon’t sit along the sidelines and watch the others winCrash right through your comfort zone and step into the lightIt’s not too late to elevate the champion inside

Chorus: And Be-lieve your faith can move the mountainsBe-lieve no ocean is too deep Be-lieve his hand is on your shoulderYou’ll rise above if only you believe

Bridge:Take this gift that you’ve been given, there’s no time to wasteIt’s the key that holds your future, your destiny awaitsThat voice inside you yearns for something greater than you seeMove a little closer, it’s just beyond your reach

Chorus: And Be-lieve your faith can move the mountainsBe-lieve no ocean is too deep Be-lieve his hand is on your shoulderYou’ll rise above if only you believe

Chorus:Be-lieve your faith can move the mountainsBe-lieve no ocean is too deep Be-lieve his hand is on your shoulderYou’ll rise above if only you believeYou’ll rise above if only you believe
